Opportunities in Mathematical Modeling of Radar Systems
Georgia Tech Research Institute is a highly-regarded applied research and development organization and was recently voted one of the top 10 places to work in Atlanta. The Institute's expertise includes all areas of radar systems, and the focus of this presentation is two areas of possible interest to mathematicians.
Tracking missiles is an important problem for industry contractors trying to build radar systems as well as government agencies tasked with protecting the United States and her allies. This area includes research in linear and non-linear filtering as well as modeling and simulation. Another area of research involves data “cubes” or tensors of information collected from air-based radars. Linear algebra techniques are applied to help reduce noise and increase visibilities of targets.Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 11:00 AM in SAS 4201
Michael Pernice, Idaho National Laboratory
Modeling and Simulation at Idaho National Laboratory
Idaho National Laboratory is dedicated to supporting DOE's missions in nuclear energy, renewable energy, and national defense. Currently celebrating its 60th anniversary, INL began as the National Reactor Testing station and played an important role in the first production of electricity by nuclear power in 1951. Current research efforts at INL include development of advanced nuclear energy systems, hybrid energy systems, and advanced nuclear fuel cycle technologies. Additional efforts in secure national infrastructure and defense research take advantage of unique features of INL's location. We discuss modeling and simulation activities in support of INL's mission.
